NOTICE
The sensor that activates the SRS
control module is connected with the
pre–tensioner seat belts. The SRS air
bag warning light on the instrument
cluster will illuminate for approximately
6 seconds after the ignition switch is
placed in the ON position, and then it
should turn off. If the pre-tensioner is
not working properly, the warning light
will illuminate even if the SRS air bag is
not malfunctioning. If the warning light
does not illuminate,stays illuminated
or illuminates when the vehicle is
being driven, we recommend the pre-
tensioner seat belts and/or SRS control
module be inspected by an authorized
HYUNDAI dealer as soon as possible.
i Information
• Both the driver’s and front passenger’s
pre-tensioner seat belts may be
activated in certain frontal or side
collisions.
• When the pre-tensioner seat belts are
activated, a loud noise may be heard
and fine dust, which may appear to be
smoke, may be visible in the passenger
compartment. These are normal
operating conditions and are not
hazardous.
• Although it is non-toxic, the fine dust
may cause skin irritation and should
not be inhaled for prolonged periods.
Wash all exposed skin areas thoroughly
after an accident in which the pre-
tensioner seat belts were activated.
Additional seat belt safety
precautions
Seat belt use during pregnancy
The seat belt should always be used
during pregnancy. The best way to
protect your unborn child is to protect
yourself by always wearing the seat
belt. Pregnant women should always
wear a lap-shoulder seat belt. Place the
shoulder belt across your chest, routed
between your breasts and away from
your neck. Place the lap belt below your
belly so that it fits SNUGLY across your
hips and pelvic bone, under the rounded
part of the belly.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of serious injury or
death to an unborn child during an
accident, pregnant women should
NEVER place the lap portion of the
seat belt above or over the area of the
abdomen where the unborn child is
located.
Seat belt use and children
Infant and small children
Most countries have Child Restraint
System laws which require children
to travel in approved Child Restraint
System devices, including booster seats.
The age at which seat belts can be
used instead of Child Restraint System
differs among countries, so you should
be aware of the specific requirements
in your country, and where you are
travelling. Infant and Child Restraint
System must be properly placed and
installed in a rear seat. For more details
refer to the “Child Restraint Systems”in
this chapter.

WARNING
ALWAYS properly restrain infants and
small children in a Child Restraint
System appropriate for the child’s
height and weight. To reduce the risk
of serious injury or death to a child and
other passengers,NEVER hold a child
in your lap or arms when the vehicle
is moving.The violent forces created
during an accident will tear the child
from your arms and throw the child
against the interior of the vehicle.
Small children are best protected from
injury in an accident when properly
restrained in the rear seat by a Child
Restraint System that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards of
your country. Before buying any Child
Restraint System, make sure that it has
a label certifying that it meets Safety
Standard of your country. The Child
Restraint System must be appropriate
for your child’s height and weight. Check
the label on the Child Restraint System
for this information. Refer to “Child
Restraint Systems” in this chapter.
Larger children
Children under age 13 and who are too
large for a booster seat should always
occupy the rear seat and use the
available lap/shoulder belts. A seat belt
should lie across the upper thighs and
be snug across the shoulder and chest
to restrain the child safely. Check belt fit
periodically. A child’s squirming could
put the belt out of position.In the event
of an accident, children are afforded the
best safety restrained by a proper Child
Restraint System in the rear seats.If a larger child over age 13 must be
seated in the front seat, the child must
be securely restrained by the available
lap/shoulder belt and the seat should be
placed in the rearmost position. If the
shoulder belt portion slightly touches
the child’s neck or face, try placing the
child closer to the center of the vehicle.If
the shoulder belt still touches their face
or neck, they need to be returned to an
appropriate booster seat in the rear seat.
WARNING
• Always make sure larger children’s
seat belts are worn and properly
adjusted.
• NEVER allow the shoulder belt to
contact the child’s neck or face.
• Do not allow more than one child to
use a single seat belt.
Seat belt use and injured people
A seat belt should be used when an
injured person is being transported.
Consult a physician for specific
recommendations.
One person per belt
Two people (including children) should
never attempt to use a single seat belt.
This could increase the severity of
injuries in case of an accident.

4-24
Safety system
Do not lie down
Sitting in a reclined position when the
vehicle is in motion can be dangerous.
Even when buckled up, the protections
of your restraint system (seat belts
and/or air bags) is greatly reduced by
reclining your seatback. Seat belts must
be snug against your hips and chest
to work properly. During an accident,
you could be thrown into the seat belt,
causing neck or other injuries.
The more the seat back is reclined, the
greater the chance for the passenger’s
hips to slide under the lap belt or the
passenger’s neck to strike the shoulder
belt.
WARNING
• NEVER ride with a reclined seatback
when the vehicle is moving.
• Riding with a reclined seatback
increases your chance of serious
or fatal injuries in the event of a
collision or sudden stop.
• Driver and passengers should always
sit well back in their seats,properly
belted,and with the seatbacks
upright.
Care of seat belts
Seat belt systems should never be
disassembled or modified. In addition,
care should be taken to assure that
seat belts and belt hardware are not
damaged by seat hinges, doors or other
abuse.
Periodic inspection
All seat belts should be inspected
periodically for wear or damage of any
kind. Any damaged parts should be
replaced as soon as possible.
Keep belts clean and dry
Seat belts should be kept clean and
dry. If belts become dirty, they can be
cleaned by using a mild soap solution
and warm water. Bleach, dye, strong
detergents or abrasives should not be
used because they may damage and
weaken the fabric.
When to replace seat belts
The entire seat belt assembly or
assemblies should be replaced if the
vehicle has been involved in an accident.
This should be done even if no damage
is visible.We recommend that you
consult an authorized HYUNDAI dealer.

CHILD RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Children riding in the car should sit
in the rear seat and must always be
properly restrained to minimize the
risk of injury in an accident, sudden
stop or sudden maneuver. According
to accident statistics, children are safer
when properly restrained in the rear
seats than in the front seat. Larger
children not in a child restraint should
use one of the seat belts provided.
You should be aware of the specific
requirements in your country. Child and/
or infant safety seats must be properly
placed and installed in the rear seat.
You must use a commercially available
child restraint system that meets the
requirements of the Safety Standards of
your country.
Child restraint systems are designed to
be secured in vehicle seats by the lap
belt portion of a lap/shoulder belt.
Children could be injured or killed in a
crash if their restraints are not properly
secured. For small children and babies, a
child seat or infant seat must be used.
Before buying a particular child restraint
syst em, make sure it fits your car seat
and seat belts, and fits your child. Follow
all the instructions provided by the
manufacturer when installing the child
restraint system. WARNING
• A child restraint system must be
placed in the rear seat. Never install
a child or infant seat on the front
passenger’s seat. Should an accident
occur and cause the passenger-side
air bag to deploy, it could severely
injure or kill an infant or child seated
in an infant or child seat. Thus only
use a child restraint in the rear seat of
your vehicle.
• A seat belt or child restraint system
can become very hot if it is left in a
closed vehicle on a sunny day, even
if the outside temperature does not
feel hot. Be sure to check the seat
cover and buckles before placing a
child there.
• When the child restraint system is not
in use, store it in the luggage area or
fasten it with a seat belt so that it will
not be thrown forward in the case of
a sudden stop or an accident.
• Children may be seriously injured
or killed by an inflating air bag. All
children, even those too large for
child restraints, must ride in the rear
seat.

4-26
Safety system
WARNING
To reduce the chance of serious or fatal
injuries:
• Children of all ages are safer when
restrained in the rear seat. A child
riding in the front passenger seat can
be forcefully struck by an inflating
air bag resulting in serious or fatal
injuries.
• Always follow the instructions for
installation and use of the child
restraint maker.
• Always make sure the child seat is
secured properly in the car and your
child is securely restrained in the
child seat.
• Never hold a child in your arms or lap
when riding in a vehicle. The violent
forces created during a crash will tear
the child from your arms and throw
the child against the car’s interior.
• Never put a seat belt over yourself
and a child. During a crash, the
belt could press deep into the child
causing serious internal injuries.
• Never leave children unattended
in a vehicle - not even for a short
time. The car can heat up very
quickly, resulting in serious injuries
to children inside. Even very young
children may inadvertently cause the
vehicle to move, entangle themselves
in the windows, or lock themselves or
others inside the vehicle.
• Never allow two children, or any two
persons, to use the same seat belt.• Children often squirm and reposition
themselves improperly. Never let
a child ride with the shoulder belt
under their arm or behind their back.
Always properly position and secure
children in rear seat.
• Never allow a child to stand-up or
kneel on the seat or floorboard of a
moving vehicle. During a collision
or sudden stop, the child can be
violently thrown against the vehicles
interior, resulting in serious injury.
• Never use an infant carrier or a
child safety seat that “hooks” over
a seatback, it may not provide
adequate security in an accident.
• Seat belts can become very hot,
especially when the car is parked in
direct sunlight. Always check seat
belt buckles before fastening them
over a child.
• After an accident, we recommend
that the system be checked by an
authorized HYUNDAI dealer.
• If there is not enough space to place
the child restraint system because
of the driver’s seat, install the child
restraint system in the rear right seat.

For small children and babies, the use
of a child seat or infant seat is required.
This child seat or infant seat should be of
appropriate size for the child and should
be installed in accordance with the
manufacturer’s instructions.
For safety reasons, we recommend that
the child restraint system is used in the
rear seats.
WARNING
Never place a rear-facing child restraint
in the front passenger seat, because of
the danger that an inflating passenger-
side air bag could impact the rear-
facing child restraint and kill the child.
WARNING
Child seat installation
• A child can be seriously injured
or killed in a collision if the child
restraint is not properly anchored to
the car and the child is not properly
restrained in the child restraint.
Before installing the child restraint
system, read the instructions
supplied by the child restraint system
manufacturer.
• If the seat belt does not operate
as described in this section, we
recommend that the system be
checked by an authorized HYUNDAI
dealer.
• Failure to observe this manual’s
instructions regarding child restraint
system and the instructions provided
with the child restraint system could
increase the risk and/or severity of
injury in an accident.

Installing a Child Restraint
System (CRS)
WARNING
Before installing your Child Restraint
System always:
• Read and follow the instructions
provided by the manufacturer of the
Child Restraint System.
Failure to follow all warnings and
instructions could increase the risk of
the SERIOUS INJURY or DEATH if an
accident occurs.
WARNING
If the vehicle headrest prevents proper
installation of a Child Restraint System
(as described in the Child Restraint
System manual), the headrest of the
respective seating position shall be
readjusted or entirely removed.After selecting a proper Child Restraint
System and checking that the Child
Restraint System fits properly in the rear
of this vehicle, you are ready to install
the Child Restraint System according to
the manufacturer’s instruction. There are
three general steps in installing the Child
Restraint System properly:
• Properly secure the Child Restraint
System to the vehicle. All Child
Restraint Systems must be secured to
the vehicle with the lap belt or lap part
of a lap/shoulder belt or with the top-
tether and/or ISOFIX anchorage.
• Make sure the Child Restraint System
is firmly secured. After installing a
Child Restraint System to the vehicle,
push and pull the Child Restraint
System forward and from side-
to-side to verify that it is securely
attached to the vehicle seat. A Child
Restraint System secured with a seat
belt should be installed as firmly as
possible. However, some side-to-side
movement can be expected.
When installing a Child Restraint
System, adjust the vehicle seat (up
and down, forward and rearward)
so that your child fits in the Child
Restraint System in a comfortable
manner.
• Secure the child in the Child
Restraint System. Make sure the
child is properly strapped in the Child
Restraint System according to the
Child Restraint System manufacturer’s
instructions.
WARNING
A Child Restraint System in a closed
vehicle can become very hot. To
prevent burns, check the seating
surface and buckles before placing
your child in the Child Restraint
System.

ISOFIX anchorage and top-tether
anchorage (ISOFIX system) for
children (if equipped)
The ISOFIX system holds a Child
Restraint System during driving and in
an accident. This system is designed
to make installation of the Child
Restraint System easier and reduce
the possibility of improperly installing
your Child Restraint System. The ISOFIX
system uses anchors in the vehicle and
attachments on the Child Restraint
System. The ISOFIX system eliminates
the need to use seat belts to secure the
Child Restraint System to the rear seats.
ISOFIX anchors are metal bars built into
the vehicle. There are two lower anchors
for each ISOFIX seating position that will
accommodate a Child Restraint System
with lower attachments.
To use the ISOFIX system in your
vehicle, you must have a Child Restraint
System with ISOFIX attachments. (An
ISOFIX-Child Restraint System may only
be installed if it has vehicle-specific or
universal approval in accordance with
the requirements of ECE-R 44 or ECE-R
129.)
The Child Restraint System manufacturer
will provide you with instructions on how
to use the Child Restraint System with its
attachments for the lower anchorages.
OLM039035OLM039035
ISOFIX anchorages have been provided
in the left and right outboard rear
seating positions. Their locations are
shown in the illustration. There are no
ISOFIX anchorages provided for the
center rear seating position.
WARNING
Do not attempt to install a Child
Restraint System using ISOFIX
anchorages in the rear center
seating position. There are no ISOFIX
anchorages provided for this seat.
Using the outboard seat anchorages,
for the CRS installation on the rear
center seating position, can damage
the anchorages which may break or fail
in a collision resulting in serious injury
or death.

Safety system
OAI3039016OAI3039016
The ISOFIX anchorages symbols are
located on the left and right rear seat
cushions to identify the position of the
ISOFIX anchorages in your vehicle (see
arrows in illustration).
OAI3039017OAI3039017
Both rear outboard seats are equipped
with a pair of ISOFIX anchorages as well
as a corresponding top-tether anchorage
on the back side of the rear seats.
(Child Restraint Systems with universal
approval according to ECE-R44 or
ECE-R129 need to be fixed additionally
with a top-tether connected to the
corresponding top-tether anchorage
point on the back side of the rear seats.)
ISOFIX anchorages are located between
the seatback and the seat cushion of the
rear seat left and right outboard seating
positions.
Securing a Child Restraint System
with the “ISOFIX system”
To install a ISOFIX-compatible Child
Restraint System in either of the rear
outboard seating positions:
1. Move the seat belt buckle away from
the ISOFIX anchorages.
2. Move any other objects away from
the anchors that could prevent a
secure connection between the Child
Restraint System and the ISOFIX
anchorages.
3. Place the Child Restraint System on
the vehicle seat, then attach the seat
to the ISOFIX anchorages according to
the instructions provided by the Child
Restraint System manufacturer.
4. Follow the instructions of the Child
Restraint System’s manufacturer for
proper installation and connection
of the ISOFIX attachments on the
Child Restraint System to the ISOFIX
anchorages.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
using the ISOFIX system:
• Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.
• To prevent the child from reaching
and taking hold of unretracted
seat belts, buckle all unused rear
seat belts and retract the seat belt
webbing behind the child. Children
can be strangled if a shoulder belt
becomes wrapped around their neck
and the seat belt tightens.

• NEVER attach more than one
Child Restraint System to a single
anchorage. This could cause the
anchor or attachment to come loose
or break.
• Always have the ISOFIX system
inspected by your dealer after an
accident. An accident can damage
the ISOFIX system and may not
properly secure the Child Restraint
System.
Securing a Child Restraint System
with “Top-tether anchorage”
system (if equipped)
OBI3030004OBI3030004
First, secure the Child Restraint System
with the ISOFIX anchorages or the
seat belt. If the Child Restraint System
manufacturer recommends the top-
tether to be attached, attach and
tighten the top-tether to the top-tether
anchorage. Top-tether anchorages are
located on the back of the rear seats.
WARNING
Take the following precautions when
installing the top-tether:
• Read and follow all installation
instructions provided with your Child
Restraint System.
• NEVER attach more than one Child
Restraint System to a single top-
tether anchorage. This could cause
the anchorage or attachment to
come loose or break.
• Do not attach the top-tether to
anything other than the correct top-
tether anchorage. It may not work
properly if attached to something
else.
• Child Restraint System anchorages
are designed to withstand only those
loads imposed by correctly fitted
Child Restraint Systems. Under no
circumstances are they to be used for
adult seat belts or harnesses or for
attaching other items or equipment
to the vehicle.
